If you use a symlink I'd suggest you create a file called
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules and put something similar to the
following in it:
BUS=="usb",KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", SYMLINK+="ttyS0", GROUP="uucp"
my only concern is /dev/ttyS0 through /dev/ttyS3 are generally the
serial ports on the machine. Of course they may not exist so you might
just want to delete them first.
